Apple Date Bundt Cake
"I found this recipe on another website. I have decreased considerably the amount of sugar originally called for and it is still fairly sweet. It is best made with Fuji or Granny Smith apples."

This is very good, but it tastes more like a bread than a cake. Hubby loved it. I only had 1 apple, so I added more dates. Tastes good with cream cheese spread on it. -
wow, there's a lot going on in this cake!! Nice and moist with a good cinnamonny taste, love the bits of apple with the dates and nuts. I cut the sugar back even further to 1 cup of splenda, it was just right. Didn't have any walnuts in but did have some filberts that worked very nicely. I will be making this one again, thanks for sharing a good one.
